The Audio Production Awards 2023

The APAs is about recognising the highest standards in audio production. It’s where we shine a well-deserved light on the individuals and teams behind the standout shows of the last 12 months. It’s where we recognise the audio productions which distinguish themselves in terms of creativity, production standards, technical accomplishment and ambition – the shows which set the agenda and lead the way in form and content. It’s where we celebrate the best of our industry.

We were excited to be nominated for the awards this year, in our first full year and attended the awards ceremony. Unfortunately, we didn’t win the category but were mentioned and got to the last 6. A huge achievement.

An excellent evening. Perhaps next year we will get a trophy.

We’re thrilled to announce that on Monday, 14th August, Behear will be launching three of our dramatised audiobooks on Apollo Pods for our US audience. “Blood Roots“, “The Cosmic Footlights“, and “The Lightwatch Chronicles” will be available for listeners across the pond, bringing our unique storytelling experience to a wider audience.

But that’s not all! In our commitment to continually enrich the Behear app for our users, we’ve signed a content-sharing agreement with Apollo Pods. This means that in addition to sharing our content with them, we’ll also be bringing some of Apollo Pods’ exceptional audiobook content to our platform. It’s an exciting time for audiobook enthusiasts everywhere!

Brace yourself for an epic adventure across the galaxy with a dedicated troupe of performers, fervently striving to keep the spirit of theatre alive in a universe saturated with reality shows.

• In Episode 8, join the troupe in an intimate meeting where each member, including the flamboyant Prince Randall, takes centre stage.

• Episode 9 ramps up the excitement as the troupe, pursued by the menacing Greenwalk and the cyborg Fendris, set off for a show. In a thrilling turn of events, they find unlikely saviours in the form of the sages.

Exciting news!

Behear Audiobooks has recently signed a contract with Apollo Pods, a premier US-based audio drama platform. Three of our captivating titles will soon be airing on their platform.

Stay tuned for the launch in the coming weeks! Check out Apollo Pods at https://www.apollopods.com/

Game of Thrones Megan Parkinson and Behear Audiobooks have worked together on directing and producing an audiobook version of Melodramatic to be released on Amazons Audible within days of the book release.

The glitz and glam of showbiz isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. As a 26-year-old actor living in London, Mel would know.

After years of wasting time at fruitless auditions, dealing with constant rejection and batting off back-handed compliments, Mel’s starting to reach the end of her tether with it all. That’s until she lands a semi-substantial role in a hit movie alongside superstar heart-throb, Jack Hart.

Told in a series of diary entries in which Mel muses on everything from booty calls and all-butter croissants to grief and family bonds, Melodramatic is a candid look at the mess of wires behind those big flashing lights of fame — wonderfully witty, refreshingly honest and, ultimately, hilarious.
